Washington's Sidewalk

Mom found some really fun fabrics the last time she was in Delta and sent some to me. I made up this block, thinking I would donate it to Fabric Boutique for their customer appreciation quilt. I didn't get it done in time, but now I really want to design a whole quilt around one fabric, made even more difficult by the fact that there is no more of the blue. I can always just enjoy it. It's a lot more fun to look at than the purple blocks.

April wall hanging of the month.







The pattern for the bunnies was modified but did originally come from Quick Quilts magazine. I used a coloring book for the egg shape, then sewed strips together and cut out the eggs. They are machine appliqued. I had a good time with the quilting too, close quilting around the shapes makes them pop out. A tight stipple on the yellow border, and flowers on the Peanuts fabric.

The whole thing is about 24x30. Bigger than the last few, so hopefully it will fill the space on Melissa's wall a little better.
